Thought I'd post this up as it's always worth a look to see what the so-called experts are predicting for the upcoming draft.

Here are Brad Holland and Adam Kimelman's competing top 10s:

Team

Holland

Kimelan

New York Islanders

Tavares

Hedman

Tampa Bay

Duchene

Tavares

Colorado

Hedman

Duchene

Atlanta

Kane

Kane

Los Angeles

Schenn

Svensson-Paajarvi

Phoenix

Cowen

Kulikov

Toronto

Kassian

Schenn

Dallas

Paajarvi-Svensson

Kassian

Ottawa

Moore

Cowen

Edmonton

Glennie

Ashton

Unfortunately neither Holland nor Kimleman weigh in as to just how deep this draft might be, though it's safe to presume the Leafs final draft spot, less one position, is where the talent really drops off. That is, if the Leafs move up to third, the media will assure that this is really a two player draft.
